Tippett's manager waits to hear fate

Thu 24 Jan 2013, 10:00 AM AEDT

Kurt Tippett's manager Peter Blucher could learn his fate as early as today after the AFL Players' Association (AFLPA) launched its own investigation into the salary cap scandal involving the star forward.

Tippett and the Adelaide Crows were heavily penalised last year for breaching draft and salary cap rules, but the AFL said it was unable to take action against player agents.

The AFLPA has since investigated Blucher's involvement in the dealings surrounding Tippett's 2009 contract.

It says its findings have been handed to the Agent Accreditation Board who will meet today to determine the course of action and outcomes.

Possible penalties include Blucher being deregistered as a player agent.

Tippett has since joined the Sydney Swans but will have to sit out the first 11 games of the season.
